In pre Northern days the Hudd to Wakefield service ran to/from.Manchester. Just needs to be more reliable than.now!

You are correct about Bounds Green as maintenance base. Hitachi supposed to be taking it over. Presumably will mean less ecs running from Hull to Doncaster?

Where will 350/2s be heading? Any ideas?

Spares that will be in regular service I bet!!! Looks like current issues on Northern will continue for a while yet

Good chance they will end up on Southern Railway. Their dmus seemingly destined for East Midlands. Talk of Southern 377s to be battery fitted to replace these and also replace 313s on Brighton Coastline service. Gap filled by third rail 707s. Cant see them going north!!

That cd be 802305 then. 802304 is reported on Eastleigh for modifications.

A Heaton to Kings Cross run. May do same tomorrow as 802302 did this run a number of times 3 weeks ago.

Are you sure all 158s are refurbished? Or being refurbished atm?

180113 is on 1052 Beverley to KX today. It has been debranded on one side so presumably going off lease soon. Anyone know any more on this? 802s have been to Bev reportedly but I've not seen one here yet.

One of the few Leeds to Nottinghams running lol!!!

Story about overcrowding (and apologies) is on the Hull Live website. I fear the 802/3s may not be the panacea for all the Hull Trains problems in recent years.

Knottingley routes are a good bet as are Leeds to Sheffield stoppers via Wakefield Westgate or via W. Kirkgate and Castleford.

WYPTE also bought the158/9s. Good question on how it was financed-any offers?

Well put. It all worked then as there always spare resources-stock,locos and staff. Now franchisees to maximise income cut resources to the bone-and we see the consequences of that all too often!

155s currently form most of the York to Bridlington via Hull service. Odd one goes to Scarboro too. In the last timetable 155s formed the Scarboro to Hull service. The Scarboro to Sheffield via Hull service is now usually 170s with a few 158s. Hull to Halifax service is mix of 155s,158s and...

Identical probably means that the story was either a leak to selected papers or a planted story.

What is best in this layout is that you can see out of the windows! Ok less so if packed but even then better than most if not all recent stock. Im just talking about internal layout however!!! Other issues for sure with 142s but.........

I remember well seeing a rake of Skippers heading south through Bridgwater on their way south to Laira. Cd have been at least 5 units. Cant remember the year though. Only stayed down there a while-did they squeak on tight curves!!!

144 pacer visited Bridlington today 1040 from York. Seems to be regular turn. Cd be longest one atm. It was on time too! Anyone know the number?

A new unit 802302 apparently worked 1050 Beverley to KX last sunday. Thet are said tohave reached this outpost beyong Hull.
